About me

My name is Brennan Danlasky. I am a third year student in the Human Genetics Program. I work in the Seydoux Lab. I grew up in Hermosa Beach, California, and did my undergraduate at UC Davis. I worked there as a lab tech afterwards for two years in the McNally lab.

My previous research focused on kinetochores and chromosome segregation during oogenesis.

My current research focuses on RNA metabolism during the maternal-to-zygotic transition, a critical period during development that happens in all Eukaryotes.

Interesting Facts

I grew up in California, but most of my family is here in Maryland.

I like to play a few different instruments, mostly guitar and bass.

I like to travel. I just got back from a trip to Europe where I hopped around Spain, Poland, Montenegro, and Switzerland.

I like to learn other languages. In addition to a B.S. in Genetics, I also have a B.A. in Spanish.

I’ve been to Gregor Mendel’s Monastery and have some descendants of his pea plants.
